Mei/ibers of Hie junior class began to~feel pressures about tl>eir personal finanaal situatio95 as they tu.rned 16, star~ driving, staded-paylng car insurance. star'fed paying attention to the cosl of college, and started hearing scary phras~ like "independence" and "self-reliance" from their parents. On Ule oU>ef hand, some were not as ~tm cerned with their supply of money. "Since I've turned 16, )'ve been throwing my moI1ey away by the hundreds,'' remarked Ryan Vernon. Natura-Uy, some saw the onjy solution, to the problem in getting a job. Getting a job In many cases created a bigger burden on many and the.. need for ~e sleep. Junior Usia Zheng pointed out, "lfyou don't know how to earn the money, then you don't know hciw lo enjoy it." Although many saw getting aj(>bas a life sentence, others rud not necessarily see ii as bad'thing. "There arc Jots of cre.1tive ways to ma:Re ·money, as long as you' re daring enough to try them," advis~d_!!;_?<y Ruskin.
